Stephanie Khoury Student at This School - Grad Year 2013
UT is a big campus and some students might favor a college with smaller class sizes over that. I love the campus and the art and architecture building. The campus is undergoing a major renovation at the moment too. Game days are crazy and definitely worth the experience of going.
